Bunio

Male · Senior · 14 years

A home for Bunio is urgently needed! Do not be fooled by his "ordinary" black appearance! Bunio is a beloved old man with a beautiful character, who has been deprived of a worthy retirement. Bunio does not look or behave like his age. We think he is living his second youth. This 13-year-old senior has vigor and charm of a young dog. He uses every moment outside the kennel for an energetic walk mixed with running forward and encouraging volunteers to play! Bunio arrived at us very overweight with a lump between his paws and matted fur. We suspect that most of his life was spent in another animal shelter. We have been striving to improve Bunio's health and fitness. Over the past few months, Bunio has been diagnosed, treated and slimmed down, and his fur gradually began to shine. (Bunio lost 10 kg thanks to regular walks!) Bunio deserves the best in his old age. We dream that he will not remain in an animal shelter and will steal someone's heart. He would be a wonderful companion, who only needs slow walks, comfortable bedding and human presence. Bunio in the kennel begs us to play fetch, and when he gets tired, he lies near a person and gives us his paw. He is a super-loved companion! He would easily adapt to a home with older children. He could join a stable dog or resident or even strengthen a larger household. There is no aggression in him - he is a gentle, positive dog with joy in his eyes. We prefer that there are no cats in Bunio's future home. We are certain that Bunio was never a house dog, because he reluctantly enters rooms. Being inside causes him discomfort. It is as if he is afraid of the unknown. Bunio is facing his biggest fear and bravely overcoming it. All for the sake of finding his place on Earth after many years of loneliness. He independently, with small steps, entered the home of one volunteer and the shelter hospital. It took him a lot of time, but each subsequent attempt to enter the room is getting shorter! The only available perspective for Bunio is a home or a large apartment with a garden on the ground floor, so he can also spend time outside. Bunio is not just a dog that is afraid of rooms. He is a dog who proves with his whole being that he wants to overcome his greatest fear. He takes advantage of the opportunities we offer him and completely relies on humans - he looks for our support in difficult situations. We are looking for a human angel who will give Bunio their heart, and who will be blowing in his sails. Bunio recommends urgent adoption, so he can enjoy freedom and a real home! We are sure that Bunio will bring a lot of good feelings into your life. We encourage you to follow our social media, where you will find more photos and videos with Bunio:

Dom dla Bunia PILNIE POSZUKIWANY! Niech Was nie zmyli ten “zwykły”, czarny wygląd! Bunio to kochany dziadeczek z pięknym charakterem, którego pozbawiono godnej emerytury. Bunio nie wygląda i nie zachowuje się jak na swój wiek. Sądzimy, że przeżywa swoją drugą młodość. Ten 13-letni seniorek ma wigor i charyzmę młodego psa. Wykorzystuje każdą chwilę poza boksem na energiczny marsz przeplatany z podbieganiem do przodu i zachęcaniem wolontariuszy do zabawy! Bunio przyjechał do nas bardzo otyły z guzkiem między łapkami i skołtunioną sierścią. Podejrzewamy, że większość swojego życia przesiedział w innym schronisku. Dążyliśmy do tego, aby poprawić stan zdrowia i kondycję Bunia. Na przestrzeni ostatnich miesięcy Bunio był diagnozowany, leczony i odchudzany, a jego sierść stopniowo zaczynała lśnić. (Bunio schudł 10 kg dzięki regularnym spacerom!) Bunio na starość zasługuje na wszystko co najlepsze ❤ Marzymy, aby nie zasiedział się w schronisku i skradł czyjeś serce. Będzie wspaniałym kompanem, któremu do szczęścia potrzebne są niespieszne spacerki, wygodne posłanie i obecność człowieka ❤ Bunio w boksie zaczepia nas do zabawy w berka, a kiedy się zmęczy, kładzie się nieopodal człowieka i daje nam swoją łapkę. Jest prze-kochanym towarzyszem! Bez problemu odnalazłby się w domu ze starszymi dziećmi. Mógłby dołączyć do stabilnego psa/sunirezydenta lub nawet zasilić większe domowe stado. Nie ma w nim żadnej agresji - jest łagodnym, pozytywnym psem z radością w oczach. Preferujemy, aby w przyszłym domu Bunia nie było kotów. Mamy pewność, że Bunio nigdy nie był domowym psem, bowiem niechętnie wchodzi do pomieszczeń. Przebywanie w nich wywołuje u niego dyskomfort. Zupełnie tak, jakby bał się nieznanego. Bunio mierzy się ze swoim największym lękiem i dzielnie przełamuje się. A wszystko po to, aby po długich latach samotności odnależć swoje miejsce na Ziemi. Samodzielnie małymi kroczkami wszedł do domu jednej wolontariuszki oraz do szpitala schroniskowego. Zajęło mu to wiele czasu, jednak każda kolejna próba wejścia do pomieszczenia jest coraz krótsza! Jedyną, dostępną perspektywą dla Bunia jest dom lub duże mieszkanie z OGRODEM na parterze, aby miał możliwość przebywać również na zewnątrz. Bunio nie tylko jest psem, który obawia się pomieszczeń. To pies, który całym sobą udowadnia, że chce pokonać swój największy lęk. Wykorzystuje szansę, którą mu oferujemy i całkowicie polega na człowieku - szuka w nas wsparcia w trudnych sytuacjach. Szukamy ludzkiego anioła, który odda Buniowi swoje serce, i który będzie dmuchać w jego żagle. Bunio poleca się do pilnej adopcji, aby miał szansę nacieszyć się wolnością i prawdziwym domem! Jesteśmy pewni, że Bunio wprowadzi do Waszego życia mnóstwo dobrych uczuć ❤ Zachęcamy do śledzenia naszych social mediów, na których znajdziecie więcej zdjęć i filmów z Buniem: Kasia 602367844 Patrycja 784534374

About Bunio

What life with Bunio looks like

Bunio is a medium-sized senior dog waiting at Schronisko Na Paluchu in Warsaw.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

Note from the shelter: Afraid of indoor spaces, needs ground floor home with garden, prefers outdoor living

🇵🇱Adopting from Poland

Polish shelters maintain established transport routes to Germany, Netherlands, Austria, and Sweden. Animals leave sterilized and chipped. Adoption fees are typically lower than in Western Europe (often €50–€150) but adopters cover transport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bunio, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bunio?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Schronisko Na Paluchu handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bunio on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bunio if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schronisko Na Paluchu will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Bunio already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Bunio isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Schronisko Na Paluchu early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bunio and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (PL). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
